WHITE PAPERS, APPLICATION NOTES, AND DATA SHEETS
Simultaneous Intensity Profiling of Multiple Laser Beams Using the BladeCam-XHR CameraThere are several applications where the parallel processing of multiple beams can significantly decrease the overall time needed for the process. Intensity profile measurements that can characterize each of those beams can lead to improvements in...

The Benefits of Modern CMOS Sensors in Industrial Line Scan CamerasAs sensor technology has improved in leaps and bounds, the old rule of thumb familiar to many line scan camera users has lost much of its punch. The idea that CCD = high image quality while CMOS = speed is only true anymore under very limited...
